Hella Jongerius is known for her internationally renowned practice, which departed from industrial design after her studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Her oeuvre now covers the entire scope of the field, and she develops applied design simultaneously with autonomous art projects. Her installation Loom Room for the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is part of a long line of autonomous projects with a 3D textile weaving technique, previous results of which have been shown in Lafayette Anticipations (Paris) and Gropius Bau (Berlin). The work is developed on commission, initiated by the Art Committee and the Best Teacher Award in collaboration with the Eindhoven University Fund and with the support of Brabant C and the Mondriaan Fund.
